Request: Help with flowers

hi, i want to put a little aura of my office windowsill on the right
hand side of my .sig  --- that is, i'd like some flowers,
houseplants, window box or something!!

i have been having a go at it, my first attempt was a window box with
some flowers trailing over the sides....

but i had trouble making it look recognisable.                 

at scarecrows ftp site i found the complete steven sullivan small ascii
pic collection, but the only small flowers i could find were like this...
 _  ___        _        _

                   |__/                              
which are a bit garden like, and i'd like something more rambling. 

this was an experiment with some pots and different sorts of flowers
                                                 *  _    U 
 _  ___        _        _                         \/*\    \  8 `o' *

                   |__/             

does anyone have any ideas on how to make any of these look more
realistic?  all imagination gratefully received!

i found this hanging basket, that i quite liked, too (at least i hope 
that's what it was meant to be)
      ^                                              
     ' `                                             
  **'   `**                                          
 ***  _  ***                                         
  *''***``*                                          
   `     '

I suspect it's supposed to be a Star Trek emblem.  I could be wrong;
someone in alt.fan.dragons has a dragon head in his sig that I thought
was a Star Trek emblem too :)

anyway, here's a small tulip-type flower I did a little while ago.

    |\A/|  
    `.V.' .,
  \-. | .'/
   `.\|/'/ 
     `I,' 

Tulips are about the only flower I can draw from memory right now; we
drew tulips in second grade for some reason.

For a rambling flower window box, sorry, I don't have any particular
ideas offhand.
